Christmas, The Kids, and #PinTheHalls : The Reveal

It has been such a fun experience to participate in the #PinTheHalls program from HP and Snapfish. If you have been following us you will remember I mentioned that we would be giving the HP Envy 20 TouchSmart Computer to the kids for Christmas. Also we are holding a giveaway for an Envy 120 Printer ARV $250 and there is still time to enter. In addition we also received a $50 gift card at Snapfish to join in some holiday fun. So lets start with that!

After browsing Snapfish and all the pretty cool products and ideas I decided to purchase a collegiate blanket for my husband. He is a a HUGE football fan and when it comes to collegiate football there is no doubt FSU is number one in our house. As you can see everything at Snapfish is personalized and I was able to put a cute photo of the kids on the blanket. I actually plan on revisited to purchase a Skin for my laptop and some other cute items like a personalized calendar.

We really enjoyed using our HP Portable Bluetooth Speaker. I did exactly what I said I was going to do. Before the family arrived I downloaded Kenny G’s Christmas hits and had it all queued up on my iPhone. I put the HP Bluetooth Speaker on the top of a tall cabinet in the dining area. When we sat to eat dinner I turned it on from my seat at just the right sound level where everyone could still talk, laugh, and tell stories with a little Christmas music in the background. My family LOVED the Bluetooth speaker and I wish I would have purchased one for my mother for Christmas. There is always next year (or her birthday).

Of course the star of the show this Christmas was the HP Envy 20 TouchSmart AiO Computer. As you may well know we are very much a family of technology with 3 iPod Touch’s, two iPod Nano’s, 2 smart phones, one computer, one laptop, and an iPad. I use to have three other computers and an additional laptop but they have since expired. So now we have two full size computers and with 5 of us the extra computer is great to have and used often. The kids were very excited to get “their own” computer even if they do have to share it between the three of them. We had to purchase a small desk so we could set it up out in the family room, which is pretty much the kids “play room”.

Surprisingly there has been no fighting when it comes to the computer. I would say my daughter uses it the most. I even bought her a pair of cute headphones so she can listen to her videos and games while the boys are playing XBox. She is really enjoying the touchscreen and the ability to download and play games like Angry Birds and Cut the Rope. Once I downloaded Firefox and was able to sync up her bookmarks she was ready to go, all set to browse, play, and have some fun.

I’ve put together a short video of some of the features and how easy it is to use the HP Envy 20 TouchSmart AiO Computer
